                                                                               Susan's diary-

This week has been a roller coaster, everything seems so messed up. I'm a bit scared that Andrea could try to trick me again, I don't want to repeat what I did to y/n . I could see how hurt she was then and how hurt she is now and I hate it. If I could just make Andrea disappear, trust me, I would.

Wait...I might not be a witch but I can certainly get her to "disappear". 

*Susan closes her diary*

"Writing again?" I ask Susan as she's fixing the lock on her journal. 

"Yes, I missed writing in this old thing, how are you doing with everything."

"Not great." I grunted, laying down on her bed. 

"Don't wrinkle the comforter I just fixed it."

"Ughhhh there's bigger problems than wrinkled sheets Susan!" I said, annoyed,

"I'm just trying to focus on the things I can control."

"I guess that makes sense, anyways, any updates on your Andrea theory?"

"Well why don't we just report her for being a witch, she'll be killed or sent away."

"I'd kill her myself." I grunted.

"No no no we have to act polite and scared, like we're genuinely scared of her."

"...but I'm not."

"Well you're going to have to act like it." Susan said sternly.

Damn ok so she was actually serious about this, maybe more than I was, which is crazy. I mean I'm the one who lost Robert here. But I do remember her saying how she was still feeling guilty about trying to steal him away when I already forgave her. Maybe that's why she's being so helpful. She feels bad. 

"Ok well since you're helping me with taking Andrea down then maybe I can help you with your little obsession."

Susan smiled, "be quiet-" she said, blushing. 

"I miss that feeling." I said, looking at her.

She did genuinely look like she felt bad for me. 

"Well I'm not going to let Andrea win any longer, let's go."

"Wait wait wait we're reporting her right now?" I asked.

"No dingbat, we're going to go spy, get your dress on I'll be waiting in the hallway."

"I'm already wearing a dress." I said. 

"No I mean wear the black dress we wear when we're spying on people."

"Oohhh alright." I said, closing the door and getting changed. 

"Leave your hair down y/n!" Susan yelled through the door. 

That brought me right back to another flashback. 

"I'd rather not." I said.

"It looks so pretty down." Said Susan.

"Yeah I've been told that before." I said, sighing.

"Oh, sorry. It looks pretty up too." She said.

I smiled. 

Susan and I walked down her street as usual, I looked around for Roberts carriage as I was listening to Susan ramble about her little crush. I miss being that happy over someone, when you could just talk about them hour after hour, day after day.
